The following. from the Toledo Com
mercidt. is from the pen of Gen. james
NJ. ComIey. and ought to draw blister on
Boynt0n's brazen cheek:
Boynton incires and keeps up BUSH
wacking against Gen. keifer, a soldier and
a public servant, whose neighbOrs know to
have been most maliciously prosecuted and
a gentleman whom the plain people of
Ohio believe in and have hOnored and will
honor again yet more decidedly if the
backbiting Boynton only keeps at him long
enough, in and ont of season, with and
without reason.
Boynton is not hurting Keifer: he is
simply boomeranging himself.
